Effect of Temperature:

In case of dyeing with disperse dye, temperature plays an important role. For the swelling of fibre, temperature above 100C is required if high temperature dyeing method is applied. Again in case of carrier dyeing method, this swelling occurs at 85-90C. In case of thermasol dyeing method, if temperature is kept more, fabric is kept for less time in thermasol unit. Because in higher temperature, less time is enough for thermo fixation of dye. If it is kept for more time, then dye sublimation and loss of fabric strength may occur. Again though disperse dye is a water insoluble dye, its solubility increases with increasing temperature.

Effect of pH:
For disperse dyeing the dye bath should be acidic and pH should be in between 4.5-5.5. For maintaining this pH, generally acetic acid is used. We may also use any mineral acid like H3PO4. But those are strong and costly. So mild acid like acetic acid is used for controlling pH of the bath. At this pH dye exhaustion is satisfactory. During colour development, correct pH should be maintained otherwise fastness will be inferior and colour will be unstable.

Oxidizing Agent:
An oxidizing agent is a reactant that removes electrons from other reactants during a redox reaction. We can also say that any chemical substance that has a tendency to accept electrons and thereby undergoing reduction themselves is known as an oxidising agent. Oxygen is the prime example of an oxidizing agent.
